Buy USPS postage with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Bitcoin super-fast!
Stampnik lets anyone ship a package or envelope and pay securely with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Credit/Debit Card, or bitcoin. We currently support domestic shipping within the United States with USPS Priority, USPS Express, USPS Media Mail, USPS Parcel Post, and USPS First-Class mail services.
Bitcoin is essentially digital money. It is similar to cash, except that Bitcoin not controlled by any central authority. All transactions are publicly listed in a ledger known as the blockchain. You can read more about bitcoin on Wikipedia.
All Stampnik labels should be printed at least 4" x 6" and be securely attached to your box or envelope. A dedicated label printer is handy if you are shipping multiple items a day. We can recommend the following models (✓ indicates that we have tested the printer)
Here are a few ways to find out what we're up to:

We support secure payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Credit/Debit Card, or bitcoin. Bitcoin payments are available for customers after an account review. To request a review, please contact us and mention "Enable Bitcoin checkouts".
Our bitcoin checkout process relies on the blockchain network to confirm the transaction, though in some cases we accept 0-confirmation payments. Usually this takes less than a minute, but rarely this has taken an hour or more.
Domestic: flat-rate boxes allow up to 70 pounds & flat-rate envelopes allow up to 4 pounds
International: most flat-rate boxes and envelopes allow up to 4 pounds. Medium and Large flat-rate boxes allow up to 20 pounds.
When sealing a Flat Rate Box or Flat Rate Envelope, the container flaps must be able to close within the normal folds. Tape may be applied to the flaps and seams to reinforce the container; provided the design of the container is not enlarged by opening the sides and the container is not reconstructed in any way. More information about flat-rate packaging can be found on the USPS website.
You can pick up small quantities of envelopes and boxes at your local post office for free. If you need a large number of boxes or envelopes, please order free supplies from usps.com/store

Our labels are generated by a 3rd party vendor and package data is sent to USPS throughout the day. This means that tracking data sometimes takes up to 24 hours to show up.
This is a known issue that does not affect the deliverability of your package. Our label providers have assured us that this formatting is correct to USPS requirements. You can verify this formatting at the USPS website.
You can schedule free pick-ups during your regular mail delivery by using the USPS pick-up scheduler
Our bulk label tool allows you to purchase multiple labels at once using a list of addresses. Currently, all packages must have the same "From" address and package type, but we plan to remove these limitations in the future.
Download our sample CSV file to see how we expect the list of recipients to be structured. Please note that the first line must include headings like "Name", "AddressLine1", etc so our service can understand how to generate your label.
Generally, no. However, USPS does allow some types of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) using proper labeling and an appropriate service level. Some HAZMAT can only be sent by ground transportation (e.g. Lithium batteries).
Stampnik supports Lithium battery shipments using the USPS Ground Advantage service.
